Things to note

Extra Curricular

At Seaton House we offer a wide range of clubs and activities that take place either at lunchtime or after school. Some of these clubs are run by members of staff and others involve outside organisations who come into school on a weekly basis to run their activity. A charge is made for attending these clubs and applications to either join or continue with an activity are offered to the girls on a termly basis. The clubs we run vary from year to year depending on their popularity and we are always looking at new and exciting opportunities we think the girls will enjoy.

Some of the clubs we offer:

  • Sport Clubs
  • Fencing
  • Musical Theatre
  • Speech and Drama
  • Gymnastics
  • Chess Club
  • Dance/Ballet
  • Science
  • Art and Crafts
  • Gardening Club

Seaton House also offers ‘Learn to Ride’ cycling clubs during the year when our younger girls are taught to ride within the confines of our playground and our older girls are given the skills to give them more confidence to cycle on the public highway, culminating in being tested for their Bikeability certificate.
